Physician Relations & Strategic Development

For more than a decade, our team has worked on innovative ways to improve UAMS services for physicians and their staff. Our website was developed with this in mind and provides a variety of online tools to assist with the referral process.

Physician Relations & Strategic Development annually visits 1000+ Arkansas community physicians and represents UAMS at continuing medical education meetings. We have taken a lead role in the development and implementation of information technology programs for the campus, including the online call schedule, the Physician Call Center, the online appointment process, automating patient communication to referring and primary care physicians, and the EpicCare Link portal to access patient records. Our priorities also include keeping referring physicians up-to-date on new services, physicians, and clinical initiatives going on at UAMS.
If you are interested in establishing or expanding your medical practice as a physician or health care provider in Arkansas, our office can assist you in finding the perfect match. We strive to match providers with communities to provide optimal patient care delivery.

The three friends, who met on a myeloma Facebook page five years ago, are part of a group of nearly a dozen Florida-based myeloma patients and caregivers who share a strong friendship and gather regularly to support and fellowship with one another.

After pursuing treatments at several other medical facilities, Sergio and Blanca followed their friend's advice in 2017 and sought treatment at UAMS Myeloma Center. Today, under the care of Dr. Frits van Rhee, Sergio has been in stringent, complete remission for a year. His scans before and after treatment at UAMS Myeloma Center speak volumes!

"If they wouldn't have come when they did, he probably wouldn't be here today," Gail said recently. ... See MoreSee Less
